Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

Xavier sat up with a frown as he stared at Nate.

With narrowed eyes and a displeased look, he said, “Don’t you dare tell me this is a coincidence because I won’t believe it. Also, take off those sunglasses. The only impression people will have of you wearing sunglasses in such a dim cabin is that you’re blind.”

Nate thought Xavier would be surprised to see him, but he never expected Xavier to make such snarky comments.

Still, it seemed like… Xavier had a good point.

As he took off his sunglasses, he squeezed out, “I’m just worried that my fans will recognize me.”

“Fans?” Xavier shot Nate a look. “How long has it been since you stopped working? Do you still have fans?”

His words successfully rendered Nate speechless.

“Tell me.” Xavier gave Nate a warning look. “What do you want? If my memory hasn’t failed me, I remember giving you a warning before. If you sabotage whatever I am doing again, I’m not going to spare you because of Aunt Beatrice anymore.”

“I know!”

“You know, but you’re still here?”

“Just give me a chance!” Nate cried out before continuing in a sincere tone, “I swear I’m not there to make a mess out of things. I’m going there to earnestly make amends. Moreover, I made a huge mess this time. Even my dad can’t stand the sight of me, so I wanted to get out of their line of sight.”

Xavier rolled his eyes at Nate. “You didn’t want to appear in their line of sight, so you decided to come to me? I’d like to find out how you discovered my tracks. Who told you about it?”

“No one said anything!” Nate knew what Xavier wanted to ask. “Don’t worry. There are no spies around you. I wanted to ask Louis about it, but he kept his lips sealed tight. He wouldn’t budge no matter what threats and temptations I said. I was just lucky as I guessed that you’d probably go to Winnie Garland, and this was the earliest flight of the day. It’s not that difficult to stalk you, you know? These are things I learned from my fans.”

Xavier was at a loss for words.

“Why are you looking at me like this? I swear everything I said is the truth!”

“How many times must I remind you? She’s my wife and your in-law, not some stranger. Also, you’re going back to Chanaea right after we land.”

“Why must you force me to leave? I just wanted to apologize to Winn… Err… my in-law. I have no other aims.”

“Shut up.” At that, Xavier closed his eyes in hopes that by not seeing Nate, he would be able to have a moment of peace.

An hour later, the plane landed at the airport in Yartran’s capital on time.

Even after they left the plane and went to the baggage reclaim area, Xavier said nothing to Nate. Nate even thought that Xavier had forgotten about chasing him back to Chanaea.

Yet, right after they retrieved their luggage, Xavier took Nate to buy the return ticket.

There was no way Nate was going to let him do that. To be honest, not only was he there to make amends, but he was also there for the sake of Fraser family’s future.

To compensate for his mistake of poisoning Xavier via Yolanda for Yulissa, his family had to let Fairchild Corporation reap more benefits in their collaboration.

He was the one who had messed up, but his family business had to suffer the consequences. The directors of the board were long annoyed by his father and brother’s decision.

Regardless of everything, he could not watch Winnie and Xavier’s relationship go sour. Otherwise, he would be the ultimate victim—Xavier might lose his temper at him instead, and when that happens, his father and brother would have to step in.

Hence, he stood at his spot and said, “Xavier, don’t make me leave. I really won’t cause any trouble for you, I swear.”

Xavier did not even bother looking at him. “Cease the nonsense. We’re in a public space, and I don’t want to make things embarrassing for you, so don’t force me to do that.”
